Not to mention other places, in Weihai County, which has been in war for several years, most of the people have begun to buy New Year's goods, preparing to spend a reassuring Chinese New Year's Eve, and praying that after today, the new year will be better and better.

The offensive and defensive battle of Qishan Pass did not continue today, north of Qishan, Cholera ordered the gang to kill cattle and sheep, and rewarded the soldiers who had been fighting for several days, and except for the soldiers on duty, no one was allowed to drink a bowl of wine, which also made the soldiers of Weihai County, who had failed to fight continuously and their morale plummeted, excited a lot.

And the soldiers of the Han army in Qishan Pass, from the generals to the ordinary soldiers, are also a little relieved, the onslaught for several days in a row, so that they are also overwhelmed, now they can rest, they are eager to eat and sleep, this is their daily luxury since the battle.

Just when the whole world was basically in a peaceful atmosphere of the festival, more than 20 miles east of Weihai County, a full 15,000 Han soldiers exuded a slow fighting spirit, they were waiting, waiting for the arrival of the night.

Xiahou Ying and the soldiers of the hundred guard platoons under his command have successfully mixed in from different city gates, and everything is just waiting for the night to come, and all the soldiers firmly believe that after today, the Han army will be even stronger!

Weihai County since cholera led the troops to attack Qi Mountain, and Zhao Ding led the troops to Wendeng, the entire city is only 10,000 soldiers, these 10,000 soldiers, there are 5,000 veterans and 5,000 recruits, the leader is the cholera general Lu Yuan, in Weihai County, his reputation is not prominent, and he is extremely low-key, but then again, if Lu Yuan has no ability, Cholera and Guo Xin will not be able to hand over such an important rear to him to guard.

Lu Yuan is a middle-aged man in his forties, who looks calm and steady, on this day of Chinese New Year's Eve, as usual, he went to the four city gates to patrol, there are few people on the street, every family is preparing Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at home, plus most of the young people have been drawn into the army, resulting in this county town is also slightly cold.

"General? It's almost evening, Madame, I'm afraid she's already waiting for you to go back to dinner, the city towers in the north, west, and south directions have been investigated, there is nothing abnormal, only this east city is left, according to the subordinates, there will be no danger today, the general should go home for dinner, don't let Madame wait! Lu Yuan led a team of more than 20 personal soldiers to ride horses on the small number of people on the street, and the captain of the personal soldiers on the side said to Lu Yuan.

Hearing this, Lu Yuan asked for a head and said: "No matter when, we must maintain great vigilance, Liu Chen, the leader of the Han army, is not a simple person, he recruited troops privately, not only did he not provoke the displeasure of the imperial royal family, but he was also named the Marquis of Zhenbei, this alone requires us to pay great attention to it." ”

After a pause, Lu Yuan continued: "My lord, he doesn't attach importance to the water division, but as far as I know, the Han army already has a water division that can compete with the Dongying people, and our main force is basically on the front line. ”

When the captain of the pro-soldier heard this, he said with some puzzlement: "Today is Chinese New Year's Eve, on such an important day, is it possible that the Han army will still attack?" General, you don't think too much! ”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Yuan was not angry, but said: "It's better to be cautious, even if there is no attack by the Han army, don't forget, there is a Dongying Empire on the east side of the sea, and the Dongying people were almost wiped out by the Han army, they will definitely not give up, if the army is attacked again, it is not good news for the entire Weihai County, and we have come here, and it is about an hour away from the East City Gate, go and then go back, I will feel at ease when I go!" ”

The captain didn't say anything more, but responded respectfully and then quietly followed Lu Yuan's side.

When Lu Yuan and his entourage arrived at the East City Gate, it was already completely dark, and there were only 2,000 soldiers guarding the East City Gate, and now there was a serious shortage of soldiers in Weihai County, and there were only 2,000 guards at each city gate, and 2,000 people were left as reserves.

The winter in Shandong Province is unusually cold, especially at night, the cold wind is enough to make people who are not cold enough to freeze to death, because it is the New Year, and the weather is cold, so there are only two white defenders on the city tower who are a little listless on duty, they rub their hands back and forth from time to time, generally two hours at a time, they also need to stay here for an hour.

There is a flat land inside the east city gate, enough to accommodate fifty or sixty thousand people, here is the accommodation camp of the soldiers guarding the city, because today is Chinese New Year's Eve, so the guys have already added dozens of piles of raging fires in the open space, on the side are pig-like and other ingredients, it seems that this is the feast of the soldiers here today.

All the warriors laid down their weapons, and they gathered around the fire, warming themselves while singing loudly, and they enjoyed this rare moment.

"General!" The arrival of Lu Yuan. did not alarm many soldiers, but asked the soldiers to call the guard here over, the guard is named Li Hui, a man in his thirties, came to Lu Yuan's side, bowed to Lu Yuan and said, "Why doesn't the general go in?" Let's have a drink! ”

Shaking his head, Lu Yuan said: "I'm just coming to take a look, don't alarm these soldiers, it's not easy to be on duty in the winter, let them have a good time, or that sentence, you can drink wine, but you can only drink one glass at most, you are not allowed to drink too much, and those soldiers who are starving and freezing on the city tower must also be taken care of, and their hearts must not be cold!" ”

"Don't worry, general, these subordinates will arrange it." Li Hui replied.

Lu Yuan nodded and said, "If you can, it's best to be a little more vigilant, I don't know why, I always feel a little uneasy today." ”

Hearing this, Li Hui smiled and said: "General don't worry, it's freezing this day, it is impossible for the enemy to come to sneak attack, and we also have soldiers on duty in turn, even if the enemy army comes, we have enough to deal with." ”

"I hope so!" Lu Yuan sighed and said, and then walked towards the inner city with his own soldiers, he would not have thought that not long after he left, this place would become a battlefield for fighting!
